No, I think it should stay, since it's the last stable release
without Mule.  I'd rather remove 20.5 when 21.x is available.

I decided to wait until 21.2 is released, so that the few bugs that
were reported are fixed.  It will probably take another month or so
before 21.2 is released, and then it's a question of my free time.

I suggest after 5.1 (which is already in its second pretest release,
so it's not long).

GZip 1.2.4 can go (it's an old port that didn't support long file
names and had a few nasty misfeatures, like it wedged the system if
you told it to read from stdin without redirection or pipe).

I'd rather wait a bit: 3.2.06 is still very new.

No!  Patch 2.1 should stay forever, since the behavior changed in
many incompatible ways with 2.2 and later.

I tend to agree.
